| Description of the problem | I am the owner of a 2011 hyundai sonata limited. Within the last 2 weeks my car has not started on 4 different occasions. The message screen within the car says "press brake to start". It will not allow me to depress the brake peddle. Everything in the car as far as lights, radio, and dashboard work fine. I have got stuck at the local mall, the grocery star and at work. I was able to start the car one time by slamming my foot down on the brake really hard. (which i shouldn't have to) the electrical system or brakes definitely have an issue. Hundreds off other sonata owners are having the same exact issue. Nothing has been done to correct this problem. I drive over 100 miles a day and have to have a reliable car. Hyundai needs to correct this issue asap. |
